+
+Hi
+     We have been using flex generated scanners for a project. In our
+application, we need to ensure that the application does not exit on system
+errors including memory allocation failures. For errors that might occur
+while the scanner allocates memory, we thought we would re-define
+YY_FATAL_ERROR to something like
+#define YY_FATAL_ERROR(x) return (error_indication=x, 0)
+where error_indication is a global that I would check after the lexer
+returns. This however is not feasible since YY_FATAL_ERROR is used in
+functions called within yylex. Some of these do not return values. Also
+yylex doesn't check if the called function encountered errors.
+Is there any plan to enhance flex to return cleanly from yylex instead of
+using exit() ? If not, any references on how to go about modifying the
+skeleton scanner for this feature ?

+
+You might get away with something like this (without having to modify the skeleton
+code):   yyerror sets a flag, then resets the scanner, pointing the input to
+/dev/null.
+The parser will have to check the error flag, of course.
